2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

Spitballing

Think I saw Don Brown was making $1.8m at Arizona. And Liam Coen is near a mill. Chesney is getting named a lot; Ambrose first time. No on Ivy league guy. Wouldn't it be fun if they just took the URI guy Fleming ... like a Carnival or Gladiator: win the ballgame, get the HC job.

They can have him. I think Chesney is too far of a reach for UConn. If they are talking $2m + then they are not talking Chesney.

I disagree with this thinking. If there is a lower level HC with a track record of success who would be a good fit at UConn but he is not highly paid today, you don’t not hire him because you could afford to pay more.
 
Don Brown was the guy we should have hired when we got P. Now he is a little long in the tooth at 66. But i love his defenses. Yeah we got burned against Western Michigan, but we also shutdown Teddy Bridgewater and Louisville. Loved his defenses.

Ain't this the truth:

This is the exact type of coach UMass desperately needs at this moment. They need someone who is going to look at the current roster, understand the strengths and weaknesses, and figure out a way to win in spite of those weaknesses.

Because, as I’ve said time and again on this blog and elsewhere, that’s the true mark of creativity. Not intelligence or contrarian jolts of wisdom. It’s about finding a way to achieve your goals no matter what obstacles are in the way, and the unintended liberations that come with that determination.

there are very few things Mark Blaudschun has written that I have agreed with in 20 years of reading him. At best, he knows something or someone is whispering in his ear. I repeat - as IT IS LIKE CHURCH MUSIC - no school is going to do away with football after such a huge investment. UMASS has ante' up. Maybe the OLine coach is the right guy.

what says anybody on Todd Grantham coming to Storrs???? Or Madison CT native coming to Storrs as OL coach?

Career assistant never really moving up the ladder. Hard pass.

Edit: You meant OL coach. Never come here for the amount of money we will be paying for that spot. Looks like a guy who gets hired on connections more than talent.
 



-> Connecticut - Athletic director David Benedict has been busy vetting candidates since parting ways with Randy Edsall in early September. This week should indicate whether Benedict attempts to hire someone who can arrive soon and build for a few weeks toward the early Signing Day or waits toward the end of the season. Names to watch: Holy Cross HC Bob Chesney, Minnesota co-DC Joe Harasymiak, Oregon OC Joe Moorhead and Dolphins assistant Anthony Campanile. <-
